Miniquip, a West Australian compact equipment hire company, is launching a franchise model ideal for individuals who enjoy hard work outdoors.

The franchising model will allow franchisees to operate their own earthmoving company under the Miniquip banner with full access to group marketing and administration. Franchisees will also be given job leads and onsite training.

The business has been operating in Perth and WA for the last 20 years and specialises in jobs such as demolition, waste removal, concrete pool excavations, landscaping and road works; it has forged strong working relationships within the building, mining, construction and commercial sectors.

Managing director John Fenton said "We see franchising as a great tool for expansion, with  many people dedicated to promoting Miniquip the brand and all working as a team.

"And above all that, we want to provide the right resources and training to ensure a successful outcome for every franchise investor."

The Miniquip hire fleet of excavators, rubber-track loaders, Bobcats, tip trucks and plant trailers is maintained by experienced mechanics.
